The Chairman of Okrika Local Government Area, Hon Akuro Tobin has joined other leaders of Rivers State especially those affected by the deplorable condition of the Eleme-Onne section of the East-West Road to speak up against Federal Government’s gross negligence.
Hon. Tobin applauded Youths of the area for taking the bold step in ensuring that section of the East-West Road be put in good shape within record time. In a statement earlier released today, Hon Tobin lamented the total neglect of the Eleme-Onne section of the road by the Federal Government in-spite of the huge economic importance of the road to the economy of the country.
He regretted the inability of the Federal Government to take advantage of the preliminary repair efforts initiated by the Rivers State Governor, His Excellency, Barr. Nyesom Wike sometime last year which would have seen the complete repairs of the road.
The Okrika Council Chairman maintained that he is in full support of the action taken by the youths, noting that the youths will only vacate the road if contractors are been mobilized to start actual construction works on that section of the road
